Community Support

Deeply Rooted In Community

Western tractor is Deeply Rooted in community, and supports many worthwhile causes in the communities that our customers and staff live and work in every day. With over 300 sponsorship donations this year alone, we believe we have a positive impact in the communities we serve.

Western Tractor values good corporate citizenship and community engagement, we are supportive of initiatives that have relevance to both our customers and employees while demonstrating a leadership position in the agriculture industry. We value programs that support rural communities and the future of Alberta farming involving young farmers and sustainable farming practices.

Western tractor sees sponsorship as support for an organization, program, event or team. In return for support, we will use the sponsorship to promote Western Tractor’s brand, product and services. We receive thousands of requests for sponsorship, promotion, donations and partnerships from worthy individuals and organizations every year. While we would like to approve all of these requests, unfortunately, this is not possible. In order to use our funds effectively and to provide you a timely response to your request, we have established the following sponsorship guidelines for sponsorship requests. Please read these guidelines carefully before requesting sponsorship assistance.

Preference is given to requests that:

Group or association must be locally-based in Southern Alberta and the project and sponsorship must support the community in Western Tractor’s A.O.R.

Include networking and engagement opportunities and the expectation that Western Tractor staff are in attendance to interact with current and potential customers.

Will deliver the potential of financial return for Western Tractor.

Request process:

All monetary and volunteer time requests must be received in writing by Western Tractor at least two weeks prior to the funding deadline in order to allow for sufficient time to review and process the sponsorship request.

All product donation requests must be received in writing by Western Tractor at least two weeks prior to the event to allow sufficient time to review and process the sponsorship request.

All requests are reviewed by applicable Western Tractor management to assess suitability, feasibility and resources required (monetary, product and human volunteer).

After sponsorship request is reviewed and either approved or declined, Western Tractor management will inform person requesting sponsorship of the decision.

Just a few of the projects Western Tractor has sponsored:

Lethbridge College - $750,000 multi-faceted gift to Lethbridge College. Western Tractor’s gift will support the college’s new trades and technologies facility through the creation of the Western Tractor Technology Lab – an advanced agricultural technologies room inside the first phase of the new building. Western Tractor will supply the lab with industry-leading technology to benefit both Agricultural and Heavy Equipment Technician apprenticeship training over a five-year span.
